Of Another Dimension (23 page)
"Uhm, yeah?"
"Good night," he called softly.
I gave him my back now too.
"Good night, 'T' man," I said with a smile.
He snorted a laugh, but left it at that.
I rolled over to escape the sun, settling on my side.
My bladder protested and I groaned, not ready to get up just yet.
"Curse you tiny bladder," I grumbled when the discomfort became unbearable.
I slipped out of bed.
Making my way to the bathroom, I didn't think to check before I entered, my late night slumber party guest temporarily forgotten.
I opened the door and hurried over to the toilet or 'relief system',
whatever.
I was halfway there when the sound of running water had me glancing up.
I froze, stuck to that spot as Teivel stood under a spray of warm water in the bathing bowl.
He had a long red tail protruding from his tail bone and I stared in stupefied fascination as he used it to pleasure himself.
Like the amateur voyeur that I am, I didn't do anything but stand there rooted in place, gawking openly as his tail pumped his massive cock, sliding up and down rhythmically with a dexterity that both surprised and completely fascinated me.
His hands were gripping his horns, rubbing and tugging on them frantically as his hips thrust harshly into his fisted tail and he bit down on his lip hard to stifle his sounds of appreciation.
Eyes shut tight, he let out a muffled moan and a breath panted out of me.
Teivel jerked at the tiny sound I'd made and looked at me sharply, yellow eyes filled with an intense heat that seared right through me.
Caught red handed, I slapped my hand over my eyes and swung around.
I went to run, but smacked into the side of the wall.
Smooth, Lil, real smooth!
I slammed back hard on my ass and blinked dizzily.
I didn't pass out right away and instead of waiting for the room to quit tilting-
obviously not an option right now
- I gave up, crawling on my hands and my knees towards the door, babbling apologies and stupid excuses as I rushed out.
"So sorry, had to pee. Heh. Heh. Sorry, half awake, had to... but then you... and I... but I didn't... and the tail... but... so sorry... so, so, so sorry!"
Teivel growled viciously, a weird undertone to this one that I haven't been privy to before.
I hopped up, rushing out the door, slamming it behind me, hoping he was more interested in his current...
activity
, rather than me, so he wouldn't maim me or lash me with his tongue for my moment of brief stupidity.
Stupid
, Lil! Just... stupid!
What is the matter with me?
I dressed hurriedly for the day and ran downstairs to start breakfast, using the downstairs bathroom to relieve my screaming bladder.
Looks like I'm making an apology breakfast for a certain yellow eyed demon in hopes that he doesn't hang me by my toes.
If not... then at least I can say my last meal was really yummy.
****
I'd just put the last piece of french toast on when Teivel walked into the kitchen.
I tensed up, but tried to play it off, smiling at him, waving for him to help himself to some breakfast.
"I want to talk to you," he started.
"Look," I grimaced, flushing, ready to eat some crow, "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. I completely forgot you'd had a sleep over last night. I didn't realize you were in there until it was too late. I uh... I swear I'm not a pervert or anything."
I flipped the last piece of toast and looked back up at him.
"Forgive me?" I asked awkwardly, holding my hand out for a friendly shake.
He looked down at my hand, then up at me.
His eyes narrowed for a moment as he just stared at me, like he could see right into me, peeking at my soul or something.
It made me squirm and I fidgeted on the spot.
I hate feeling like I'm a bug being examined under a microscope.
"Well?" I snapped, getting testy, "You gonna forgive me and eat my damn toast or not? I made it for your grumpy ass after all."
His brows pulled down low over his eyes and he gave me a disbelieving look.
I let my hand flop uselessly to my side.
"You made french toast for me? Why?"
"You're kidding, right? I just walked in on you yanking it and I watche... uh... erm... I... well, I'm sorry. I was rude, I know. I was just taken aback and my brain turned to sludge. ...so, yeah... sorry," I finished lamely.
"You aren't...
disturbed
... by what you saw?" he asked guardedly.
"Disturbed? Why would I be... oh
,
that
."
He means his tail.
Tail is awesome, but I was more fixed on the whole ‘loving thy self’ thing at the moment.
"Actually," I said honestly, "I think it's pretty cool. The
you know
," I glanced up towards Sieren's room, "Not that you were, ah hem,
you know
."
Gotta make sure we're pretty clear here.
He barked out a laugh and went to make himself a plate.
I surreptitiously studied his caboose, wondering how he hides that sucker from anyone noticing.
A million questions popped up and I really,
really
wanted to ask him them, but all things considered, I don't think it's a good idea to approach him about it just yet.
You did just walk in on him giving himself a good old 'tug n pull', Lil! Give the male a chance to get over it first.
****
"I don't want to ride on the back of one of those... beasts! I want a transport like the one you brought me here in. Go and grab that one!" Teila demanded.
"We don't have one right now. Kieve and Sieren took it to the inlet. This will just have to do, your highness," Teivel ground out.
"Hmph!" She took off into the living room.
I stuffed my cowboy hat on my head and did up my trench coat.
I glanced outside.
The sky was looking dark and kind of ominous.
We better hurry and get the lead out.
I hope the closest transmitter isn't too far,
I worried.
"I still don't see why I can't just stay here," I complained.
"I will not be left alone with
that
spiteful female," Teivel ground out, glaring at Teila.
I don't blame him. She might try to pull a praying mantis and eat him while she screws him.
I laughed at my wayward thoughts and grunted when Teivel shoved a balled up lump into my arms.
"Do your own laundry!" I shoved the bundle back at him.
"Put them on. You can't run around in what you're wearing."
"And why not?!" I demanded, offended.
"Difficult female!" he snarled.
He opened my coat and gestured at my breasts.
"They jiggle when you walk! You will cause problems. Distracting males as they flop about while you ride a talanax," he stated bluntly, shaking my shoulders to demonstrate his point.
I slapped his hands away.
"Knock it off, you titty jiggler!" I growled, tugging my coat closed.
Flop about?!
Ass!
I'll make him flop about! In pain!
He crossed his arms over his massive chest and scowled at me.
I sniffed at him disdainfully and the corner of his mouth pulled up, but he tried to smother it, acting irritated still.
I am
not
amused.
Okay! So they do jiggle... quite a bit
actually... but that is beside the point!
Also...
"I am not wearing
her
clothes," I grated out, "They wouldn't fit me anyways.
Obviously
."
He looked at me impatiently.
"They aren't hers. Go put them on."
"No," I said stubbornly.
"Yes."
"No!" I stayed firm.
He leaned down and got into my face.
"If you do not go upstairs and put them on right now, I will drag you up there, strip you down, beat your ass and put them on you myself!" He bellowed.
"I'd like to see you try!" I shouted.
"Stop flirting and go put on the clothes he bought for you already!" Teila snapped. "I'm tired of waiting and you're incessant bickering is making my head ache!" she snapped at us.
I frowned at her and unfolded the bundled up clothes.
There were weird under things, but I could already see how they'd go and a dress made of some kind of deep red material.
There were red pants that went under the dress, so I'm guessing it made them okay to ride a talanax in.
They looked like they were in my size.
"You bought these for me?" I asked him, holding the dress up to my chest.
It's actually quite pretty.
He flushed blue and cleared his throat.
"They were for a situation like this. Just in case. Go put them on so we can leave."
Teila snorted, but shut up when Teivel gave her a meaningful glance.
"Thank you. They're pretty," I said haltingly.
He nodded and left to go get the talanx ready, Teila stomping off to go collect her things.
I dutifully went upstairs and tried on my new outfit.
****
I kept glancing at my reflection, pleasantly surprised.
It fit perfectly and the material was very soft and silky.
I ran my fingers over it again, marveling at the texture.
Huh. Who knew Teivel could shop?
He doesn't strike me as the shopping kind of guy, but who knows, looks can be deceiving.
Maybe he’s kinda like a chick in that regard.
I twirled a little, smirking when it billowed out like a bell and settled around me.
"Dressed and ready to go," I murmured to myself, smoothing the front into place.
I stood tall and straight and marched out the door, heading for the stairs determinedly.
Sooner we get outta here, the sooner we can ditch Teila and come back home.
Now wouldn't that be nice.
****
"I can't ride side saddle! I'll fall off!" I protested.
"You won't. You'll be riding double with me. I won't let you fall," Teivel assured me and gripped my waist.
"Wait!" I yelped and gripped his shoulders as he tried to hoist me up.
He stopped mid lift, my feet dangling off the ground.
He raised a brow in question.
"Why can't I ride regular by myself? Why can't I have my own mount? Why do I have to ride with you?" I took a deep breath and was ready to continue, but he slung me over the back of his talanax, completely ignoring me and hopped up behind me.
"Teivel!"
"Teila, we are leaving now, with or without you!" Teivel barked.
"Teivel!" I tried again.
"Yes?" he chuckled, wrapping his arm around my waist.
H
e got his talanax moving and I gripped his arm for dear life.
"I don't like riding like this! I feel like I'm going to slip off! Let me down!" I squirmed, but he just hitched me up to his chest and wrapped his arm around me tighter.
I feel like a little kid who was just told they have to share.
But I want my own pony!
I wanted to cry.
Teila sat primly on
her own talanax, sitting side saddle like me, and maneuvered it like a pro.
She smirked at me as she
kicked her talanax into a gallop.
"Gloating b
itch!" I hissed under my breath.
Teivel snorted and his chest vibrated with his suppressed laughter.
After that, we traveled for a few hours in silence while I pouted.
"I still say I could have ridden on my own. People are already going to think I look funny. You could just tell him it's normal where I come from."
"There were only two talanax left and I won't sit with Teila, so deal with it," Teivel snapped at me.
